Moving zero padded files based on sequence
I am trying to move repetitive generation of files in sequence like [00000.txt ... 99999.txt] and maintaing current date logs
I tried with below script which is working for single digit numbers such as 0..9 but not for 00000..99999
Kindly help me to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/ubuntu/
declare -i y=0
y=cat counter.txt
(( y++ ))
echo "value of y is $y"
while [ $y -lt 9 ];
do
while true; do
if [ $y -eq 8 ]
then
cp $y.txt temp/operator1/
y=0
echo "maximum limit has reached to 8 resetting counter to 0" >> log_$(date +%Y%m%d).txt
fi
if [ -f $y.txt ]
then
cp $y.txt temp/operator1/
echo $y > counter.txt
(( y++ ))
echo "$y.txt has been copied to new folder" >> log_$(date +%Y%m%d).txt
break
else
echo "waiting for $y.txt" >> log_$(date +%Y%m%d).txt
sleep 5
fi

A program/script that’s “missing some logic” is like a car with a flat tire — it doesn’t work correctly, but it works. Your script is like a car with no wheels and no fuel. Please try to get it to a point where it works poorly — a simple search will find many resources to help you. (There is one major error right in the middle that you should be able to spot easily.) Also, please try to describe more clearly what your requirements are (what does “This sequence will repeat again” mean?) and how the script is supposed to be satisfying them (what is the role ofcounter.txt?).

Hi Scott, I used Counter.txt to save the last moved file. My requirement is like I will receive the files such as ABCD00000.txt....ABCD99999.txt. once the complete set is received, again the same set will receive. before that I need to move the files to destination and in sequence.
